  • Employee Theft Prevention
You are most at risk of being burglarized when you:

* Have just fired an employee.
* Have multiple keys in circulation (maintenance people, employees,etc.).
* Have a very consistent schedule.
* Take long vacations.
* Have recently moved your business.

A good security strategy slows burglars down, so that the risk of detection
becomes too great and they give up and leave.

Locks are your first line of defense. Pick and drill resistant locks slow a
burglar down, giving an alarm system more time to alert the local police
to problems. Your safe is your final defense from a burglar's attack.

Security Tips For Your Business:

• Crooks will look at areas of vulnerability: businesses with an open door
or a broken window, or ones without security systems.

• It is not expensive to take the basic steps toward securing your
business. Keep the main points of entry locked with high security locks.

• Keep track of who has copies of the keys to your business. Change
locks if keys are lost or stolen. If you've recently moved in, change all door
locks as soon as possible.

• Always request identification from service or utility workers. Potential
thieves don't always look like "thugs"!!

• At night, keep walkways well-lit. Trim the landscaping and make sure
there are no areas for someone to hide easily.

• To avoid being surprised, look around and make sure that no one
followed you before stepping out of your car.                

• Get involved in Neighborhood Watch programs. They work! Get to know
your neighbors. Report suspicious people to the police.

• Make sure you have high security locks on all exterior doors. Use high
security locks on file cabinets, desks, equipment storage rooms, etc.
Purchase a safe for keeping valuables, records and personal keepsakes.

• Make sure no one can copy your key(s) without your knowledge and
permission.

• Use high security padlocks on your outbuildings and storage areas,
preferably ones keyed the same as your main building.

If you are robbed, remember: it is better to lose your valuables than your
life. Yield your possessions and let the robber go. Then call the police. Be
alert to every detail that could aid in identifying the criminal.

Von Duprin was
started in 1908, when
it introduced the first
"panic release bar" in
response to a need
for protecting life
safety while
providing security, a
purpose that still
guides the firm today.

Carl Prinzler missed
a scheduled visit to
Chicago's Iroquois
Theatre in 1903, thus
escaping a disaster
in which 594 people
perished when the
"fireproof" theater
burned.  Obsessed
with the needless
loss of lives, Prinzler
was determined to
solve the problem of
public buildings that
often turned into
death traps when
doors were locked to
keep gate crashers
out. Prinzler teamed
up with his neighbor,
Henry DuPont, an
architectural
engineer, who
invented the first
working device. The
initial model,
introduced in 1908,
was marketed by
Vonnegut Hardware
Company under the
name Von Duprin, a
contraction of
Vonnegut, DuPont and
Prinzler.
